Folk Alley Radio Show #200625

This week on Folk Alley, we revisit “Folk Alley’s 100 Most Essential Folk Songs,” compiled from a survey of our listeners in 2010. Hear favorites from Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, Donovan, and Joni Mitchell; then see how Folk Alley listeners voted as we count down the top ten most essential folk songs.

In hour two, new music from Freddie & Francine, Sunny War, Steve Earle, and Lori McKenna; we’ll hear the last song John Prine recorded before his passing; an exclusive Folk Alley recording of Brown Bird from the 2012 Green River Festival; and favorites from Eric Bibb & Maria Muldaur, William Prince, Kaia Kater, The Band, and more.
